Featuring Gerald Levert




[Mack 10]



This Song Is Dedicated



To All The Up And Coming Rappers Singers Hustlers Actors



Whatever You May Be Remember:



Without No Struggle You Get No Progress



So Keep Grindin Keep On Mashin Get Yours




Chorus: Gerald Levert




You're Nothin Far From Comin Up (keep On)



Money's Just A Touch Away (keep On)



So Keep On Grindin Don't Give It Up (keep On)



There'll Always Be Another Day (keep On)




[Mack 10]



And Now I'm Sittin At The Pad, Teary Eyed And Depressed



Starvin And Sufferin From Mental Stress



Now A True Center To The Game Of Beginner



But Hard To Feel Like A Winner When You Eat Spreads For Dinner



Hit The Streets Late Night In The Form Of Star Mushin



On The 211 Mission Just To Pay Tuition



For My Kids I Got To Grind And Develop Street Saavy



Servin Stress Cause I Just Ain't Got Enough To Cop Cavi



But I Can't Stop, I Won't Stop, Til I Got It Made



Either Build My Clientele, Get A Job Or Learn A Trade



Like Hip-hop, And Make Enough To Live Good Forever



So I Learned To Write The Rhymes And Get My Metaphors Together



Then I Joined A Rap Crew, With The Homies On My Street



Sellin Underground Tapes Out The Local Swap Meet



Gettin Tighter On The Mic, As I Worked Day To Day



So Now I Lay Down At Night, And I Hear Voices Say, "Mack"




Chorus




[Mack 10]



Now I'm New To The Scene, H As In Hard, N As In Nympho



So Like EPMD, Could You _Please Listen To My Demo?_



I Left The Local Crew, Felt Like I Was The Man



In Popular Demand And Now Ready For SoundScan



So I Searched For A Deal With No Luck I Kept Rappin



Felt Like It Would Take A Miracle To Make It All Happen
